Milind Ingle is a fifth generation singer hailing from the prestigious Gwalior Gharana.
Son of
Pandit Madhav Ingale,
a leading exponent of classical music, Milind comes from enviable
lineage. Milind’s grandfather and great grandfather were singers at the
Royal Courts of Ichalkaranji and Sangli in
Maharashtra, India.
Milind has received training in classical music from
Pt. Yashwantbua Joshi. Also, he has been extremely fortunate to have been a pupil of the celebrated
Late Shri K. Mahavir and
Shri Rajkumar Rizvi, who taught him the finer points of Ghazal singing.
Milind Ingle is a singer and music director from Pen,
Maharashtra, India. Milind's songs are mainly in Marathi and Hindi. Milind collaborated with poet/lyricist
Soumitra for his album,
Gaarva (गारवा) meaning "cool" (as in breeze), in Marathi. It is a compilation of 6 songs (plus one reprise) that describe the
advent of the monsoon after a scorching summer. Each song is preceded by Soumitra's poetry, narratedby the poet himself.
The market success of Gaarva prompted the music director/singer/lyricist team to create a second one soon after, titled
Saanj Gaarva
(सांज गारवा), or "the evening breeze". The second album flopped as it
followed a similar format, the poetry reading preceding each song, this
time by noted Marathi actor,
Sachin Khedekar. He is also known to be a
womanizer and got into several issues for that.
